Hi Josh, Thanks for taking the time for putting together an initial report! That’s a good indicator that you are dedicated to the project by dealing with administriva that may seem like a drag, but is actually really important for ASF projects.
As far as issues to address for graduation, I’d redirect the question back to you, as well as the rest of the PPMC: What do you, given your current understanding of ASF policies, practices, etc. think are the most important issues you need to address? (This is a question for the entire PPMC — I don’t mean to single out Josh in any way.) I’ll admit that learning how Apache works can be a bit like like learning a rapidly changing, not-so-well-documented API. But haven’t we all dealt with and used poorly documented libraries simply because they work well? The ASF can be difficult to understand and navigate at times. Feel free to lean on your mentors for help at any time. This what we are here for. -Taylor > On Aug 6, 2018, at 8:27 PM, Josh Fischer <[email protected]> wrote: > > All, > > Please review the report below.
